I haven't been following these very Proustian threads of yours (Proustian in terms of *length*), so I'm unaware how many photos you're wanting to download from your phone (this solution may not scale for the movement of a great number of files), but snapdrop.net in a browser on both the sending and receiving device has worked for me here on occasion (of course, as you're well aware, I don't adhere to the high hacker standards of some of our more venerable correspondents). It all happens locally with Javascript, if ever you would want to try it out. À bientôt, C > Cheers, Gene Heskett.
